~ Remembrance of things seen

Category Archives: Uncategorized

it is so hard to find out on-line or in books when the British Museum acquired those bas-reliefs of the Assyrian lion-hunt…have been reading Layard for hours today and he never mentions them…Instead he spends pages talking about Bedouins he has met etc. It is all so vague – his account does not really work as a travelogue, nor as an account of his digs, nor as ethnography. It is just a bulky heap of vagueness.
